I think it was really close but the mushy romantic stuff was a tad too much and well the cheap comedy from Bolin also pissed me off. He's just TRIES to be funny, Sokka was funny and strategic/smart (he was an actual, important character!).
Not to mention Korra just mastered the avatar state just like that. Unlike Aang. Maybe someone can clear that up for me.
I have a feeling season 2 is going to be much better though and good as the original series.
Anyway. I hope Zuko appears in season 2,3,4 (hopefully 2) and we see alot of him and you know how his life, relationship (Zuko x Mai FTW!), etc.
T4R?
EDIT: No arguing.
EDIT: Those of you saying book 1 air was close to TLAB but not as good as it, season 1 was made when they only had one season in mind, rushing the season/book, later nick agreed with the directers to have more season (4) so now they can actually have a plot which goes across all the seasons.

Edited by S0m3W31rd0: 8/19/2013 4:18:37 PMSo far I don't think it is anywhere close to the original series, I expect Book 2 to be better than Book 1, but still not as good as the original series. If I had to rate each season from both series out of 10 I would give Book 1 of LoK a 6/10 at best. For Book 1 of ATLA I would give a 7.5/10, Book 2 a 9.5/10 and Book 3 a 9/10. I'd say that Book 1 of LoK had beautiful animation, great character designs and art style, intense action scenes, but it was let down by the rushed plot and poorly written characters.

Instead they tried to compress 20 episodes worth of content into 12 episodes. I think if they cut the love triangle bullshit and the pro-bending sub-plot, they would have more screen time to focus on the main conflict which could have resulted in a better written season. Also if this was going to be the only season as it was originally, I would actually say that makes the bad things even worse because there would be no chance to save the series, because at least with more seasons in the future, they have a chance to fix things and improve.
